Welcome to Oslo!
Norway’s capital - is centrally located in the heart of Scandinavia. Bounded by the fjord and the forested hills, Oslo offers fantastic scenery.
Events within music, art, culture, science and sport add life and colour to the city. During summer the days are long with over 18 hours of daylight available for outdoor pursuits, and Oslo can offer many different activities to fill that time.
The combination of big city life, a diverse array of cultural activities and easy access to untouched natural surroundings have made Oslo an increasingly attractive destination for travellers from all over the world.
Oslo is the only major city in Europe that can offer great skiing only minutes away from the city centre by the local underground. Why not try a city break out of the ordinary, where you can combine a winter sport holiday with pulsating nightlife, world famous museums and attractions, great shopping and high class cuisine.
In winter, the long dark nights add a romantic feeling to the city when people like to compensate for the lack of daylight by gathering by the fireplace or around a candlelight table.
